Nooooo! I was going to go to that!

Lovely car, did you get to speak to the owner?

[thepickle]

No, I don't know anything about the story/history of the car apart from this...

That was mine. Had trouble with it today. The security fob batteries were dud (probably the originals since 1998) and I went to Tesco, Boots, Lloyds Pharmacy, the Market, DJP, Timpsons, Dawson's and nobody had a replacement. Eventually had to call my wife to bring in the spare key! Anyway I got home eventually.

Nice garage, I think I've seen a few of your other cars out and about, was following an S65 from Longridge towards Hurst Green the other week and can't imagine there are that many of them about!

Spotted a Citroen AX GT this morning on the M6 southbound near jct 29 with a white smiley on the bootlid!

[RicksAlfas]

Some kind of Pagani at Newby Bridge today!
Took me completely by surprise so I'm not sure what model it was.
It was blue and the wing mirrors were on stalks.

Spotted a white 64 plate Porsche GT3 twice in two days in Broadbottom, near Glossop. Gave the driver a little nod of approval whilst I was out on my run today. No photos unfortunately.

Spotted a gold coloured chrome bumpered MGB GT this afternoon heading past Silcocks amusements in Southport.

Also spotted a white MGA (with top up) heading along Ocean plaza opposite Southport Pleasureland. Seems to be abit early for the classics to be out in January.

[Blown2CV]

i also saw a MGB in Lymm today, and it was a 'rally homage' GT as well.

[jbudgie]

Cant see the attraction for the MGB, they were always a load of crap.

can see the attraction of one which has been entirely sorted, or re-imagined with modern tech.

[Jukebag]

MGBs were (and still are), notorious for their rust bucket reputation, more so than any other classic car so I've heard. The worst example I remember seeing years ago was a rubber bumper GT that was stood outside the back of an house (not sure if it was left there or being worked on), and it looked in a right state, so bad that the bodywork would've likely crumbled if touched. These days someone would've tried to flog the thing in such condition on eBay for 2 grand, when it was only worthy of the scrap yard.
